Korg Wavestation-EX
This synthesizer is from 1990-1994 and I think it is one of the most incredible synthesizers ever .
It would take maybe 100 pages here to describe it and I am sure you will have heard the sound somewhere in a song or maybe in the background in a comercial.
I love synthesizers that have their own special sound and can't be compared to any other.
This machine is marvelous for creating "soundscapes ".
A few technical details here.
Each sound can be build on max. 8 patches and each patch can be made by 4 sounds and each sound can be made out of 1 wave or a "wave sequence " (making up to 255 waves in steps connected to each other).
It has a REAL! quadraphonic output meaning 4 independant outputs and you can assign a patch to an output.
With the joystick yo can let these waves travel between the 4 outputs or have it automated !
As I have 4 powered speakers connected to the 4 outputs I can really be in the middle of the sound which can travel to front back diagonal ...etc ....
Sorry must be boring for the "non" synth lovers .
Anyway it is an incredible machine ( also have it "virtually " on my computer but it is only stereo out).
I really can talk hours about this synthesizer .
Btw ..I connect my Casio midi guitar to this ( check the page weird guitars)

Talking about Casio ,
This is a mini synthesizer but it is really a marvelous machine .
For the synth lovers this is a FM synthesizer like the famous Yamaha DX 7
Once took the challenge with a guy to make a "Bell " sound ,him on the DX7 and me on this tiny one.
Right.... you have to know your machine ,but my "Bell" sound won !
Midi In- and Out ( Out can be Tru )
Well it is not touch sensetive and has tiny keys but it has portamento and believe me you can really make some incredible sounds with it .
Let's stick with Casio

Another "weird" instrument the Casio DH-100 midi sax.
No it is not really a synthesizer but it is a midi controller .
Has some build-in sounds that can be played over 3 octaves like a saxophone
( fingering ) or like a german flute .
But what is really marvelous ...this has "breath control" YESSS
This means when you connect this sax to a synthesizer that can accept breath control ( like the DX7) you can really play it like a real sax because the harder you blow the louder the sound will be !

Alesis S4 module
It's a synthesizer module based on the synthesizers of Alesis QS-6 -7 and 8 .
To be honest it is not a spectacular synth but together with the Korg Wavestation connected it gives the extra sound.
